Yo Mama's Big Fat Booty Band Official Policy on Taping
Recording:
Audience taping is permitted at all shows by Yo Mama's Big Fat Booty Band. For purposes of this policy, performances by individual band members of Yo Mama's Big Fat Booty Band will be treated as Yo Mama's Big Fat Booty Band shows. Guest performances by band members with other artists will be governed by that artist's policy. When Yo Mama's Big Fat Booty Band is performing at a festival or other event featuring multiple bands, that particular event's policy may override Yo Mama's Big Fat Booty Bands customary taping policy.
Currently, there is no pre-designated taper section at Yo Mama's Big Fat Booty Bands shows so there is no specific permission or ticket necessary to record. Equipment location and microphone placement is governed, first by the venue and secondly, by the audio engineer and sound crew for that show. Some audio engineers allow soundboard patches, but many do not. Tapers must seek the permission of Yo Mama's Big Fat Booty Band and the audio engineer to be allowed a soundboard patch, without interfering with the audio engineer or sound crew's process. Tapers must bring and are responsible for all of their own equipment and at no time will an audio engineer or sound crew member provide cables, microphones or other items to assist tapers in recording. In many cases, power supplies are nearby and readily available, but tapers should at all time carry ample extension cords and power strips as to avoid requesting unnecessary assistance. Tapers are permitted to bring ONE audio recording deck and ONE microphone stand/set of microphones into the venue; additional recording devices will not be permitted entry. Anyone found taping in violation of the above policy will be removed from the venue and unauthorized recordings will be confiscated.
The enjoyment of the audience in attendance at a concert always takes precedence over recording efforts. This means that at no time should tapers ever require other patrons to be quiet or otherwise interfere with their enjoyment of the show.
Duplication:
All participants in audio recording exchange (regardless of format) acknowledge and respect the copyrights and exclusive ownership of the music and performances by the performers, writers and publishers.
All taping must be for personal use only, which may include trading (via analog or digital tape, CD, or digital file transfer). Recordings may be traded only for an equivalent amount of similar media (cassettes or CDs, pre-recorded or blank). Regardless of any expenses incurred, no money may ever be exchanged as part of a trade; however, stamped, self-addressed envelopes may be included with blank media. In addition, the mediums by which audio trading is publicized may not be commercialized. Therefore newsletters, web sites, clubs, or any other communication forum facilitating audio trading cannot accept advertising, offer links for compensation, exploit databases compiled from their traffic, or otherwise derive any commercial profit in any form. Stores or businesses may not offer to duplicate Yo Mama's Big Fat Booty Bands media for customers or sell or otherwise provide media containing unreleased Yo Mama's Big Fat Booty Band music for any price. A statement of compliance with this policy must be
clearly posted on all web sites engaged in trading activity.
If we have chosen to offer for sale (via physical media such as CD, or via digital download) a particular performance by Yo Mama's Big Fat Booty Band, this "official" version will take precedence over amateur recordings being offered for download. In these instances, we require that digital audio repositories remove any recording of these particular performances from their collections within 7 days of the official release or 7 days of Yo Mama's Big Fat Booty Band announcing the intention to release, whichever is earlier. Notwithstanding the above, Yo Mama's Big Fat Booty Band reserves the right to require immediate removal of any unreleased Yo Mama's Big Fat Booty Band material. It is the responsibility of the site host to remain informed of the current list of Yo Mama's Big Fat Booty Bands officially-released recordings and to maintain their site accordingly. In no case may any officially-released Yo Mama's Big Fat Booty Band recording (live or studio) be duplicated or otherwise traded or offered. Broadcast of unreleased Yo Mama's Big Fat Booty Band recordings via: radio or online is permissible only if it conforms to all the guidelines applicable to other forms of duplication.
Audience taping at Yo Mama's Big Fat Booty Band concerts is authorized for non-commercial purposes only. Unauthorized sale, duplication and/or distribution are strictly forbidden. All performances by Yo Mama's Big Fat Booty Band and recordings are the exclusive property of Yo Mama's Big Fat Booty Band. All rights reserved. The rights to record Yo Mama's Big Fat Booty Band performances set forth in this policy constitute an express, revocable license. We reserve the right to withdraw our sanction of recording, tape trading, and/or non-commercial digital audio file transfers on a case specific basis or in general, as we deem necessary. No waiver of any copyright or trademark right is intended.
If you are aware of any person or site in violation of this policy, please
